Pleased to see Denly keep his place despite the all the ex players from Surrey on TMS yesterday wanting to drop him and surprise surprise for a Slurrey player. Fucking Wankers
Possibly the best, most heartening picture we will see from Lord's today...
Apart from the smiles and laughter of Sam and Luca Strauss of course. Never in the history of Lord's could the bell have been rung with such vigour and longevity!

If it comes to dropping a top 3 batsman they should look, perhaps, at someone nearer to home.
Can't say I'm surprised. As soon as we lost the toss, I thought we'd be all out for less than 200. The team is so low on confidence at the moment that I wouldn't be surprised if we lose 5-0.
Jason Roy has edged or missed 29% of the balls he's faced in Test cricket. In the last 12 months, only one Test opener (min 3 matches) has a higher false shot percentage. [JD Campbell (WI) 3 Tests 30.8%]

Just seen the weather forecast. Its not just Wednesday that looks like a washout but the weekend as well, especially Saturday. I reckon only 2-3 days play at most.
A Draw is almost certain.
Correct about today. Tomorrow looks good all day but rain arriving Friday afternoon.....I reckon by tea.
5 session of play come the weekend. Bung your money on a draw
Bowled out in 2 sessions. Aussies ahead by the 5th session.
On course to lose ths test then. England to be all out for under 200. Aussie rack up a score of 350 to 400 and then for us to collapse on final day. Come on rain !!
I think the Aussies should have batted. Obviously they were eyeing up our weak top order. Denly just got a whack on his helmet.
39-2.
Win win for them. If we bat first they have the advantage of putting us under pressure straight away. They bat first and we are chasing, and we crumble.
Burns & Denly settling in pretty well .. not getting bogged down .. Root now seems very vulnerable to a well pitched up straight ball .. Roy ? .. who's next ?

His technique is not suited for test cricket.
Sorry to sound so happy!

Bugger. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger. Bugger.
Sibley will come in for Denly and open whilst Roy drops down to 4.
The only way Denly will survive this test is if he gets a ton.

I say missed because he didn't get a hand on it, even though it hit him in the chest.
42-2
